hey guys
i'm afraid i'm at a complete loss.
basically i want to add an email capability to one of my apps

i've managed to get some code that works but it uses
code such as:
.Item("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl") = True

now from what i understand i substitute the code above with:
!cdoSMTPUseSSL = True
once i have referenced the "cdo for windows" library cdosys.dll.

problem is that i dont have cdosys.dll but have cdoex.dll (cdo for exchange 2000 library) which i understand replaced cdosys.dll (i.e. has the same functionallity and more)

the code dosnt work however and i get an error message
cdo error, the sendusing configuration value is invalid

so i guess what i'm really after is vb6 example code, which sends emails and references "cdo for exchange 2000" library. can anyone point me in the right direction? 4hrs of searching has thrown up very little
alternativly where can i get cdo for windows library?

also the code i have which has the schemas.micosoft.com in it, does work but am worried that the code is not "self contained" i.e. it has to look up microsoft.com each time to send a mail??

thanks for the help yet again!!
jim
